"Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has some decisions to make over his team selection for Wednesday's Champions League group game in Moscow, just four days ahead of the derby against Manchester City.

"Louis van Gaal told BBC Radio Manchester after the win over Everton at Goodison that the decision to replace Juan Mata with Jesse Lingard at the interval was a tactical one, as he felt the Spaniard was playing too much in midfield and he wanted a bit more pace and creativity further up the field.

"He could give Lingard a first Champions League start on Wednesday after the youngster impressed during the second half of the 3-0 win, while keeping Mata fresh for Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.

In a list of the world's most combustible derby matches, the Angus Clasico between Arbroath and Montrose rarely ranks particularly highly. Until now.

The two clubs have been warned by Police Scotland after violence erupted both inside and outside Gayfield on Saturday, with flares being thrown and fights breaking out in the streets of Arbroath. Five people were arrested.

Arbroath won the League Two encounter 3-1.

Lambert 'desperate' to end drought

Striker Rickie Lambert says he is "desperate" to end his goal drought and help keep West Brom away from the wrong end of the Premier League table.

The 33-year-old England forward has yet to find the net for Albion since his £3m summer move from Liverpool.

"I know there's more to this role under (Tony) Pulis than just scoring goals. You get asked a lot more defensively than I've had in the past, but it's something you have to get used to and I'm trying to get as fit as I can," he told BBC WM.

"If ever there was a time to impress in training, this week might be it for some of Watford's fringe players. Despite another spirited performance in defeat to Arsenal on Saturday, the Hornets failed to score for the fifth time this season.

"Head coach Quique Flores has - by and large - kept a settled side from the off. And the majority were at the club last season, with seven starters on Saturday played last term.

"So, for summer signings such as Victor Ibarbo, Steven Berghuis, Alessandro Diamanti and Obbi Oulare, now would be the perfect time to show their boss they should be in the team."

BBC Wales Football Correspondent

Swansea City have apologised for the replay of the controversial incident involving Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland on the Liberty Stadium big screens during last night’s 1-0 defeat.

Potters manager Mark Hughes complained about the replaying of the incident in which Butland challenged Andre Ayew outside the penalty area.

Replaying controversial incidents on the screens during the game contravenes Premier League rules.

Today a Swans spokesman said the replay was "human error". The club have made a verbal apology, and will now put that in writing.

Pistorius 'home with family'

Oscar Pistorius is with members of his family at his uncle's multi-story mansion after being released from prison and moved to house arrest a day earlier than expected.

"Oscar is here, at home with the family,'' said spokeswoman Anneliese Burgess, addressing dozens of reporters outside Arnold Pistorius' luxurious home in an upmarket suburb of South Africa's capital Pretoria.

"The family is happy that Oscar is at home," she added.

Pistorius, the double-amputee runner who fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, has served a year of his five-year sentence for manslaughter.

"I would have liked my mates to back me up a little more on the odd occasion, if you know what I mean. I feel for him and hope his fellow referees stand by him."

Raheem Sterling should still be a Liverpool player, according to his agent.

Aidy Ward told the Daily Mail: "Brendan Rodgers is a good coach, but as a manager I didn't like certain things about how he dealt with Raheem.

"Raheem could've stayed, he should be at Liverpool. In December I spoke to Liverpool and said we'll sign a contract if there is a buy-out clause - those clauses are now common practice. They said no to that.

Give me an opportunity - Evans

More quotes from new Leeds United boss Steve Evans, who says he is not worried about getting the sack, despite the club sacking former manager Uwe Rosler after only 12 games.

"Give me an opportunity, there are many better managers that have sat here asking for that opportunity," says Evans. "Am I cautious, nervous, excited? Yes, all of them.

"The spirits have been good we have tried to tweak one or two things. There is no complaints from me the squad I have inherited. It is my job to give everyone an opportunity and I will do that.

"Mr Cellino is certainly passionate. What was meant to be a couple of hours talk on Sunday was nine hours. This club should be in the league above this one.

"After leaving Normandy, the race heads south to the Pyrenees, then west to the Alps and the Jura, through the Massif Central.

"There are nine stages that should suit the sprinters, nine for the climbers - with one somewhere in between - and the two time trials, one of which is a 10.5-mile blast up to the French ski resort of Megeve.

"Among the other highlights are a brutal eighth stage from Pau to Bagneres de Luchon in the Pyrenees, stage 17’s finish on the Emosson dam in Switzerland and a decisive penultimate stage from Megeve to Morzine, via some of the Alps’ most testing climbs."

The Open 2019 will be the biggest sporting event ever staged in Northern Ireland. Although it's been the best kept secret in golf, this is still a landmark day for Royal Portrush as the date for the Open return is officially confirmed.

The course redevelopment is well underway, including the building of two new holes. And the Stormont Executive has made a multi-million pound investment to secure the Open, which will come to Northern Ireland three times in approximately 30 years.

Portrush to host Open

Royal Portrush Golf Club will be confirmed shortly (there's a news conference at 10:00 BST) as the venue for the 2019 Open Championship.

The organisers of the event, the Royal & Ancient, will be joined by Northern Ireland's 2011 Open champion Darren Clarke for the announcement.

It was revealed in June 2014 that the golf major would return to the Portrush course for the first time since 1951.

The R&A is also expected to confirm that two further Opens will take place at Portrush over the next 40 years.
